I played Liddy Dole last year and met her as well. From the artful way she phrased it, I still don't know if she had actually seen me play her. She made it sound like it was good, but that's just a gift they have.
‐‐ Ana Gasteyer
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the 'Pink Panther' theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock.
‐‐ Jack Black
I played Little League baseball, but I also played basketball. Basketball was my primary sport. When you play basketball seriously, a lot of times, through the summer season, you continue playing. So that replaced me playing baseball.
‐‐ Chadwick Boseman
I played Little League for one year. That was it. Then my mother realized I liked books and threatened my father. I owe her forever for that.
‐‐ Brad Meltzer
I played Little League in junior high and high school.
‐‐ Jerry Spinelli
I played lots of fantasy games. I would create these worlds, and I would believe in them.
‐‐ Lana Parrilla
I played lots of games, and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games. I was also a science fiction and fantasy fan, growing up, in games and books and movies.
‐‐ Duncan Jones
I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.
‐‐ Gabriela Sabatini
I played more of an advisory role with Public Enemy. I really trusted them to make the music that they wanted to make, and the way The Bomb Squad worked with the... they created their whole own world of music.
‐‐ Rick Rubin
I played mostly games like Asteroids and Pac-Man. Today, when I go into an arcade, the games are much more difficult and complex. I don't think I could even play some of the video games that are out there today.
‐‐ Brandi Chastain
I played music all through school and I kind of performed that way.
‐‐ Ewan McGregor
I played music and sang from my earliest memories. The first pictures of me show me wandering around with a guitar that was larger than I was, and it became almost second nature to me.
‐‐ Dwight Yoakam
I played my first match aged six. Neither my opponent nor I knew how to score, so our parents had to help us out from the sidelines.
‐‐ Laura Robson
I played myself in an Aziz Ansari comedy, and that was funny to see how they saw me... flowing scarves and a flourish of pink! Eek!
‐‐ Colin Salmon
I played Nina in 'The Seagull,' and I remember thinking it's incredible to see all the actresses in the past that've played her. It's quite strengthening. You feel a part of the family of actresses going through and giving something of themselves to the role.
‐‐ Lily James
I played old men back in drama school. It's just now that I'm drawing level with the age of the characters I play, but I'm fine with that, and I've certainly never envied people who became hugely famous when they were young.
‐‐ Paul Giamatti
I played on teams with 24 guys pulling the rope one way and one guy pulling the other. I've seen how destructive it can be. I tell them, 'If 13 of you are insanely successful and one fails, we all lose.'
‐‐ Curt Schilling
I played on the Jets during Namath's last four years, and we used to ask ourselves, 'When is it going to happen? When are they finally going to replace him?' We'd wait for it, week by week, but it never happened.
‐‐ Burgess Owens
I played on this soccer team, called Hollywood United, and there were a lot of old ex-international pro-players. We played this benefit match at the Rose Bowl, and the crowd streamed in. It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.
‐‐ Donal Logue
I played one game, and one game played me.
‐‐ Lawrence Taylor
I played one year of fantasy football in high school. You really get into it. It makes more fans of the NFL, and people love talking about it. They'll come up to me and say, 'Why did you throw an interception? You ruined my fantasy team!' Or they're happy because they got you for a bargain.
‐‐ Andrew Luck
I played Othello, but I didn't sit around thinking how Laurence Olivier did it when he played it. That wouldn't do me any good.
‐‐ Denzel Washington
I played outfield in high school a little bit.
‐‐ Steve Clevenger
I played piano and was always in the choir. I tried to play flute because all the pretty girls played flute.
‐‐ Abigail Washburn
I played piano as a kid; I still play a little bit.
‐‐ Bobby McFerrin
I played piano back in my elementary school days and I sang a cappella back in college.
‐‐ Masi Oka
I played piano, flute, and guitar.
‐‐ Kiiara
I played piano for about two years when I was a kid. I didn't play long enough to be really great.
‐‐ Joanna Newsom
I played piano growing up. I played classical piano since I was 5, and I sang in choirs, and I sang in plays and musicals.
‐‐ Rachel Platten
I played piano, I learned a lot about music.
‐‐ Maximilian Schell
I played piano in a covers band, but that didn't especially help with girls. There is never a piano around after the shows. Guys with the guitars were the ones who got lucky.
‐‐ Jonathan Tropper
I played ping-pong with Prince. That's pretty surreal. He gave me a lesson before we played; like, he's great. He's a master at it, so I took the free lesson.
‐‐ Hannah Simone
I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.
‐‐ Ray Liotta
I played pretty darn competitive-level hockey. Then the good old knee injury. Obviously, it's a blessing in disguise, but growing up Canadian, that's our religion, that's our football.
‐‐ Taylor Kitsch
I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money, it's a whole other level.
‐‐ Kurt Russell
I played quite a bit for my home team, Morriston, in my teens. I batted and bowled, but I suffered the utter humiliation once when one of the Pontarddulais batsmen hit 32 runs in one over against me.
‐‐ Steffan Rhodri
I played recorder in assembly, then I became passionate about the guitar, I don't know why. I started on electric then moved to acoustic - my brother was playing bass in the next room.
‐‐ Ellie Goulding
I played Romeo when I was younger, and I think I did a couple kind Romeo-like parts after that, and I kind of went, 'I mustn't do this again. I must always choose something that I don't know if I'm a good enough actor to play.'
‐‐ Richard Madden
I played rugby for years, and I had a rugby jacket that I lost when I was 14. Somehow, my brother found it in storage 15 years later, and he gave it back to me for my 30th birthday. That was amazing and probably one of the best gifts I've ever received.
‐‐ Ryan Reynolds
I played rugby from the age of 10 until my late twenties; an unlikely player - small, quiet, long-haired and 'wiry.'
‐‐ Anthony Browne
I played rugby most of my life and then I switched to snowboarding, which provided me a lot of inspiration.
‐‐ Charlie Bewley
I played saxophone and trumpet. Pretty nerdy.
‐‐ Kesha
I played saxophone, so I was into jazz. I learned from each audience and each teacher that I had. I can't really tell you any rules or anything, but the way I develop my beliefs is really just by personally learning from different situations.
‐‐ Chad Hugo
I played small forward on the basketball team. I also ran the 300 hurdles.
‐‐ Gabriel Luna
I played soccer, and I was the kid who ran the wrong way, or I was pretending to be some sort of zebra and I would flail my arms and kick up my legs.
‐‐ Johnny Weir
I played soccer for 12 years on three different teams at a time.
‐‐ Portia Doubleday
I played soccer, recreationally, in college.
‐‐ Gabriel Luna
I played softball and basketball growing up. I really wanted to play football but both parents said no. I was mad for a second, then got over it. Now, just because I'm tall doesn't mean I can play basketball. I was waaaaay better at swinging a bat.
‐‐ Jordin Sparks
I played softball for a few years growing up. Both my brothers played baseball.
‐‐ Maggie Lawson
